This Week’s Thought

Multnomah Falls, the tallest waterfall in the state of Oregon, is much more breathtaking than my photo can possibly portray to you. It is an absolutely beautiful place to see and behold for yourself, and I highly recommend doing so if you are ever traveling the Columbia River Gorge bordering Oregon and Washington.

Isn’t that the case with nearly anything else you could photograph in God’s great creation? It must be seen and experienced for oneself, because a photo or description just doesn’t do it justice.

Now put that same thought into the greatness of what God the Father has prepared for His children one day – a mansion on a hilltop in a land that John had such difficulty describing in the book of Revelation. Beauty beyond what can be explained with our finite minds and vocabularies.

In a very uncertain and ever-changing world, it ought to bring peace to the heart and a smile to the face of the child of God to know that even the most beautiful places we can experience here on this earth absolutely pale in comparison to the beautiful place waiting for us on the other side of the Jordan River.

Waterfalls that defy explanation. Beauty beyond comprehension. Just a couple of the many wonderful things I look forward to experiencing for myself. How about you?
